Under the Ordeal.

A new thing has been going on in
the Courts as Pittsburgh this week.
Allegheny county for some years
past has, by q special law, been
granting licenses through license
board, Of certain officials. Now, I'M
der the new Brooks high license law,
Allegheny county licenses have to be
granted by the Courts, the same as
in this and other counties. And
hence the applicants have to undergo
the ordeal of passing through the
Courts. This process is what has
been going on in Pittsburgh this
week, with decidedly interesting fea-
lures. There, as here, the ladies and
principal citizens are in the front op'
posing the granting Of licenses, and
from present appearances it il
thought that Judges Ewing and
White will grant no licenses or al
few as they possibly can. Nearly al
the applicants when asked, had to ad
NIT they sold upon Sunday. But the
controlling point made against the
many saloons and taverns was tha
they were not necessary for the pub
lie. The bondsmen of the applicant
were closely scrutinized and many re
jected as such. Pittsburgh will no
have as many drinking holes here
after.

week we conclude the article got into
hispaper without his knowledge, and is
the work of some underlings about the
establishment but is none the less
false.
The G. A. r is composed of hon.
orably discharged soldiers of the war
to preserve the Union from secession
and rebellion, and whose friendship
for one another was welded in the
hardships of soldier life and in the
fierce and terrific fire of battle, and
no soldier worthy to belong to the
Grand Army, when he takes a COM
rade by the hand, thinks of asking
are YOU a Democrat?"or" Republican,
Greenbacker?n or "Prohibitionist?"
All he wants to know is. "did he do
his duty we'll and was he honorably
discharged from the service?" With
these two questions answered salts
factorily, bond of friendship at once
exists between them only known to
those who shared the hardships, priv
vations of and horrors of soldiers
life in actiue service. and because
these men, who offered their lives to
their country, if need be, for her sal
vation, form their G. A. R. posts to
perpetuate the memories and friend
ships of long ago, then these little
souls, these narrow-minded ninnies,
such as the scribbler in the Herald
of the End, inst, must resort to false
hood to raise suspicion about, and
bring reproach upon the G. A. r.
The G. A. r. desires the scribbler
in the Herald, and every other small
fry politician, or large fry either, to
understand once and for all that the
G. A. R. is not a political body. 1t
is composed of Democrats, Republi-
cans, Prohibitonists and Labor party
men, aud is not going to be used
by the Democrats, Republicans or
any other party for political purposes,
They are men who know their rights
as individuals, and if insulted by a
penny-a,liner, such rs the Herald ap-
pears to havee about it, OF the Presi-
dent of the U. S., they will resent
| it and let them know that as
citizens they will maintain
their rights, do matter how much
partisan papers may howl and rave.
The Herald would stand much high
er in esteem of all fair-minded people

kept out of it's columns. For the fu'
